20. The usefulness of Cui's mother

"Afraid?" Meng Qingyun smiled, "What am I afraid of?" Although my mother has passed away, I still have my father and two uncles, and if she really wants to embarrass me, I will write to you uncle and take me to live with my grandmother. ”

Bai Rongxin shook his head and smiled: "You are open-minded." ”

He lightly clasped the table with his fingers, squinted his eyes and savored it carefully, looked at Meng Qingyun with appreciation: "Good boy, I have thought about it carefully, your methods today are indeed amazing." The eldest lady encroached on the private property of your second room, if you don't stop her this trend, I am afraid that she will be even more insatiable in the future. However, you have concealed her monthly request for money, leaving her room so that everyone will not completely tear their faces. ”

Meng Qingyun said: "Those things were borrowed by her in the name of public entertainment, even if she shakes it out, everyone will feel excusable." But most of the money she asked Luo's mother to ask for every month went into her own pocket, and if she said it, she couldn't clear it up, and there was no way out, so she might be annoyed and angry. In the end, it is a family, there is no need to kill them all, not to mention the money in my hand, and I don't care about the two or three thousand silver. In short, after such a fuss today, there is no reason for her to ask for things and silver again, which has also achieved my goal, to eliminate future troubles, and to spare people and spare people. ”

Bai Rongxin cocked his thumb: "This is a good grasp of the priorities and the proportion of grasping the big and letting go of the small." ”

The nephews and uncles said some common things casually, after all, Bai Rongxin still had a lot of mundane affairs on his side, and seeing that the hour was almost the same, he took his entourage out.

Meng Qingyun sent him away, returned to the house, sat alone and lowered his head and thought about it.

In fact, she also had the heart to discuss the disappearance of her father Mengjin who was coerced by the homeless, whether it was an accident or a man-made person, which always made her full of suspicions. But these are just her suspicions, there is no evidence at all, and on the surface, it has nothing to do with the behavior of the eldest lady.

Thinking of this, she looked up and called Green Smoke: "Is Mother Cui back?" ”

Green smoke rushed out of the door: "Oh, I just came back, and I'm sitting under the porch sulking." ”

Meng Qingyun got up and walked outside the door, and sure enough, he saw Cui's mother sitting on the railing under the porch, holding her arms, even if she just looked at the back, she could guess her puffing appearance.

This mother really has the same temperament as a child.

"When did Mom come back, why didn't she come to see me?"

Meng Qingyun said while also sitting on the railing, deliberately pressing her tightly.

Cui's mother moved to the side a little angrily, and Meng Qingyun took the opportunity to move closer; Cui's mother moved to the side a little more, Meng Qingyun chased after her and moved a little closer, and simply hugged her arm.

"Oh, it's weird, it's hot......" Cui's mother still wanted to pull her away.

Meng Qingyun hugged her tightly and said coquettishly: "I love to be next to my mother, who called me your grandmother." ”

Cui's mother snorted: "The big milk has no conscience." For such a big thing today, you only brought a few girls with green smoke, but you kept me far away to inquire about some messy news. ”

Meng Qingyun immediately opened his eyes wide and retorted, "How can it be messy? I asked my mother to inquire about the most important things, which are a thousand times more important than today's showdown with the eldest lady! ”

Cui's mother will be suspicious: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true." Meng Qingyun took the opportunity to say, "Mom, tell me quickly, what did you hear?" ”

"Ahem." Cui's mother pretended to clear her throat, "This morning, I can dry my mouth." ”

Meng Qingyun noticed the subtleties, and immediately shouted flatteringly: "Green smoke, quickly help my mother into the house and sit." Asakusa, serve tea to mom. Mom worked hard, and we were thirsty. ”

Green Smoke, Asakusa and others also came up very cooperatively, hugging Cui's mother into the house, pinching her shoulders and beating her legs, and serving tea coquettishly, coaxing Cui's mother into the clouds.

"Okay, okay, I know that you little hooves, you don't have to be courteous."

Cui's mother didn't really know what to do, and she almost got Qiao, so she told all the news she heard.

"According to Yuan Niang's instructions, I went to find a few old sisters who are usually the most talkative, and the Wu woman in the back alley has the most broken mouth, and she has the most news. She said that the eldest lady arranged for Hu Yigun from the stable to deliver a letter to our second official. ”

"Hu Yigun?" Meng Qingyun felt that the name was a bit interesting.

Cui's mother said: "Hu Yigun was originally a soldier, when he was young, he fought a Japanese robber, injured one eye, became a soldier, signed a deed to our family to work as a nurse, and did errands in the stables on weekdays. Because he is good at using a flower gun, everyone calls him Hu Yigun, but no one remembers his real name. ”

Meng Qingyun said: "In this way, this Hu Yigun has a lot of force and ability. ”

Cui's mother said: "His ability is not small, but the most capable is to marry a flower in our back alley." ”

"Huh?" Meng Qingyun looked dazed.

Cui's mother patted her thigh: "Hey, you forgot, it's the daughter of the Lu family who sells tofu in the back alley, named Cui'er, who was born since she was a child, and is famous for her good looks, so she is called a flower." The Lu family relied on her to be beautiful and picky, and she didn't marry until she was almost twenty years old, how many young men were greedy, but they didn't expect to be shot by Hu Yijiao to pick this flower. When they got married, I went to drink the wedding wine, and the wine was so ......."

She was very excited when she said this, and she was very interested in describing to this group of little girls the scene of hundreds of young men fighting in wheels that day and trying to get drunk with a shot.

Meng Qingyun hurriedly stopped: "Stop, stop!" Let's talk about this excitement another day, you first talk about what you heard today! ”

"Okay." Cui's mother licked her lips regretfully and returned to the topic, "In short, when the second lady was seriously ill for a few days, the family felt that it might be bad, so the eldest lady arranged for Hu Yijiao to go to Laizhou to deliver the letter." ”

Meng Qingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, since Hu Yigun went to deliver the letter, he naturally had to come back with Meng Jin. The eldest lady arranged such a person to go, was it intentional or unintentional? After all, he has been a soldier and killed people, and he can be ruthless even if he has high force.

"And then?"

Cui's mother didn't react: "Then? And then what? ”

"Hu Yigun, nothing else?"

Cui's mother was stunned: "He's going to Laizhou, what else, at this time, he must be the same as our second official, I don't know if it's life or death." Speaking of Mengjin, she was sad again, and she wanted to wipe her tears.

Meng Qingyun was afraid that she would not stop crying, so she hurriedly asked: "There is no news from Hu Yigun, so is there anything abnormal about the flower he left at home?" ”

Cui's mother said casually while reminiscing: "After Hu Yigun left, of course Yizhihua will close the door and live...... Oh! When I thought about it, I heard Mrs. Wu say that it was a flower that was a little generous recently, and she also went to the ready-to-wear shop to make clothes. ”
